President Wilford Woodruff. Dear Brother, Your letter of June 9th came duly to hand. I accept the call to Switzerland and Germany and can be ready to start on the date named in your letter: viz., Aug. 8th, 1896. I have saved up money in order to be able to continue my studies in some of the eastern or perhaps foreign universities and hence have some means with which to pay expenses to my field of labor. Being a schoolteacher by profession whose specialty is work in the lines of Geology and and and Mineralogy, and a plumber by trade, I would appreciate the kindness if it could be so arranged that I could, in connection with my other duties, familiarize my self as much as possible with the European school systems, schools, especially the high schools and the universities, museums, mines and places of geological interest, as well as become acquainted with the European materials and methods of work in the department of plumbing and sanitary science. Trusting that the above reply will be satisfactory, I am, dear sir, very respectfully, Wm. D. Neal. (over)
